iPhone vs. Android: Assessing 6 Key Areas.
 
You have two major choices in smartphone operating systems. Which is better for you?
 
By Marc Saltzman, AARP. Published November 21, 2024.
 
When the time comes to replace your smartphone, which model should you choose? The least expensive? The one with the best camera? The same brand youโ€™ve always used?
 
Nearly 9 of 10 older Americans own a smartphone, according to a recent AARP survey. And even if you shield yours from the dings of everyday use with a hard plastic case and screen protector, you will have to replace it in about five or six years when its manufacturer stops issuing compatible operating system updates.

Up until 2018, I refused to give up my EASY TO USE Flip Phone.

 

Then in 2018, my daughter bought an Android insisting SHE NEEDED to know I was okay in Virginia. She lives in Florida.

 

I also got ADDED to her phone plan. NO more pre-paid plans.

 

Here it is 2024, still hanging onto my OLD Android but the State of Virginia did provide a NEW one in 2022. Hate it as it is HUGE, but it is nice to have a "backup" IF my old Android dies. And yes, I do need to UPDATE this phone arrangement with a new Android with my SAME phone number. The Virginia Android has my local area code.

 

This article gave me some insights, enough to know I will be sticking to Androids. NOT sure what my daughter has.
